Answer With Explanation for wrong / missing number series pdf:

1). The series is 50 + 1^2 = 51, 51 – 2^2 = 47, 47 + 3^2 = 56, 56 – 4^2 = 40, 40 + 5^2 = 65, 65 – 6^2 = 29.

Hence, there should be 40 in place of 42.

Answer is: D

2). The series is 3 × 2 + 3 = 9, 9 × 3 – 4 = 23, 23 × 4 + 5 = 97, 97 × 5 – 6 = 479, 479 × 6 + 7 = 2881, 2881 × 7 – 8 = 20159

Hence, there should be 97 in place of 99.

Answer is: C

3). The series is x0.5 + 0.5, x1 + 1, x 1.5 + 1.5, x 2 + 2, x 2.5 + 2.5, x 3 + 3…

Hence, there should be 5 in place of 6.

Answer is: A

4). The series is 1 × 2 + 1 = 3, 3 × 2 + 0 = 6, 6 × 2 – 1 = 11, 11 × 2 – 2 = 20, 20 × 2 – 3 = 37, 37 × 2 – 4 = 70.

Hence, there should be 37 in place of 39.

Answer is: B

5). The series is 2 × 2 + 7 = 11, 11 × 3 – 6 = 27, 27 × 4 + 5, = 113, 113 × 5 – 4 = 561, 561 × 6 + 3 = 3369, 3369 × 7 – 2 = 23581.

Answer With Explanation for wrong / missing number series pdf:

16). The series is,

Hence, 253 is a wrong number.

Answer: C

17).The series is,

38 = 3+8 = 11 = 38 +11 = 49

49 = 4+9 = 13 = 49 +13 = 62

62 = 6+2 = 8 = 62 + 8 = 70 ≠ 72

70 = 7+0 = 7 = 70+ 7 = 77

77 = 7+7 = 14 = 77+14 = 91

91 = 9+1 = 10 = 91+10 = 101

Hence, 72 is the wrong number.

Answer: B

18).The series is,

Hence, 46 is the wrong number

Answer: B

19). First series 47, 45, 33, 3

47-(1×2) = 45

45-(3×4) = 33

33- (5×6) = 3

Second series 44, 46, 57, 88

44 + (1×2) = 46

46 + (3×4) = 58 ≠ 57

58 + (5×6) = 88

Hence, 57 is the wrong answer.

Answer: B

20).The series is,

11, 13, 19, 23 and 29 are the prime numbers

Hence, 466 is the wrong number.

31). b)

4, 12, 42, 196, 1005, 6066, 42511

4 × 2+(2)² = 12

12× 3+(3)² = 45

45× 4+(4)² = 196

196× 5+(5)² = 1005

1005× 6+(6)² = 6066

6066× 7+(7)² = 42511

Hence, 42 is the wrong number

32). d)

Solution With Answer Key for wrong / missing number series pdf:

36). A) The series is

1527 — (19² -19) = 1185,

1185 — (15² — 15) =975,

975— (11²— 11) = 865,

865 — (7²— 7) = 823,

823 — (3² — 3) = 817

There should be 975 in place of 985.

37). D) The series is 110 x 1 — 4 = 106,

106 x 2 — 8 = 204, 204 x 3 — 12 = 600, 600 x 4 — 16 = 2384, 2384 x 5 — 20 = 11900

There should be 600 in place of 608.

38). A) The series is

71 + 19 = 90, 90 + 38 = .128, 128 + 57 = 185, 185 + 76 = 261, 261 + 95 = 356 Hence there should be 356 in place of 365.

39). C) The series is

8 x 2.5 — 2.5 = 17.5,

17.5 x 3.5 + 3.5 = 64.75,

64.75 x 2.5 — 2.5 = 159.375,

159.375 x 3.5 + 3.5 = 561.3125,

561.3125 x 2.5 — 2.5 = 1400.78125, …

Hence there should be 159.375 in place of 157.375.

40). A) The series is .

Hence there should be 69120 in place of 691020

41). 76,    75,    142,    399,    1530,    7535

a) 45

b) 62

c) 102

d) 81

e) 123

Solution With Answer Key for wrong / missing number series pdf:

41). D) The series is

76 x 1 — 1³= 75,

75 x 2 — 2³ = 142,

142 x 3 — 3³ = 399,

399 x 4 — 4³ = 1532,

1532 x 5 — 5³ = 7535, …

Hence there should be 1532 in place of 1530.

42). A) The series is

21 x 4 = 84,

23 x 6 = 138,

25 x 8= 200,

27 x 10 = 270,

29 x 12 = 348,

31 x 14 = 434, …

Hence there should be 200 in place, of 192.

Therefore the wrong number is 192.

43). E) The series is

Hence there should be 528 in .place of 530.

Therefore the wrong number is 530.

44). C) The series is 7⁴ — 1 = 2400,

6⁴ — 1 = 1295, 5⁴— 1 = 624, 4⁴ – 1 = 255, 3⁴— 1 = 80, 2⁴ — 1 = 15, …

Hence there should be 624 in place of 625.

Therefore, the wrong number is 625.

45). E) The series is

Hence there should be 125 in place of 123.

Therefore the wrong number is 123.

Solution With Answer Key for wrong / missing number series pdf:

46). The series is +7³, +6³, +5³, +4³, +3³, +2³, …

The series is 127 + 343 = 470, 470 + 216 = 686, 686 + 125 = 811, 811 + 64 = 875, 875 + 27 =902,

Therefore it should be 902 in place of 885.

Answer: d)

47). The series is ÷2 + 4 (repeated)

1296 ÷ 2 + 4 = 652, 652 ÷ 2 + 4 = 330, 330 ÷ 2 + 4 = 169, 169 ÷ 2 + 4 = 88.5, 88.5 ÷ 2 + 4 = 48.75, …

Therefore it should be 330 in place of 328.

Answer: a)

48). The series is 2 x 1² + 3= 5, 5 × 2 + 4 = 14, 14 x 3² + 5 = 131, 131 x 4 + 6 = 530, 530 x 5² + 7 = 13257,……

Therefore it should be 14 in place of 15.

Answer: b)

49). The series is 508 + 131 = 639, 639 + 137 = 776, 776 + 149 = 925, 925 + 167 = 1092, 1092 + 191 = 1283, …

Hence it ‘should be 639 in place of 640.

Answer: a)

50). The series is (11)³ – 5 = 1326,

(9)³ – 15 = 714, (7)³ – 25 = 318, (5)³ – 35 = 90, (3)³ – 45 = -18, (1)³ – 55 = -54

Hence it should be 1326 in place of 1325.

Solution With Answer Key for wrong / missing number series pdf:

51). B) The series follows:

Numerator = 2 x Denominator + 4

So, 76/35 should be replaced by (35×2+4) / 35 = 74/35

52). C) The series is (77)², (70)², (84)², (63)², (91)², (56)², …

5929,   4900,  7056, 3969,  8281,  3136

Hence there should be 5929 in place of 5930

53). A) The series is

Hence there should be 359 in place of 360.

54). D) The series is 85 x 1 + 3 = 88,

88 x 2 + 6 = 182, 182 x 3 + 9 = 555, 555 x 4 + 12 = 2232,  2232 x 5 + 15 = 11175,…..

Hence there should be 555 in place of 550.

55). B) Move from right to left. The series is

-16,  -32,  -64,  -128,  -256, …..

Hence there should be 302 in place of 300.

Solution With Answer Key for wrong / missing number series pdf:

56). D) The series is 11 x 1 + 1² = 12, 12 x 2 + 2² = 28, 28 x 3 + 3²= 93, 93 x 4 + 4² = 388, 388 x 5 + 5² = 1965, …

There should be 388 in place of 310.

57). A) (3 + 7) x 2 = 20, (20 + 9) x 3 = 87,  (87 + 11) x 4 = 392, (392 + 13) x 5 = 2025, (2025 + 15) x 6 = 12240,

Therefore, there should be 12240 in place of 12246.

58). E) The series is 12 x 0.5 + 0.5 = 6.5, 6.5 x 1 + 1 = 7.5, 7.5 x 1.5 + 1.5 = 12.75, 12.75 x 2 + 2 = 27.5, 27.5 x 2.5 + 2.5 = 71.25, …

Therefore, there should be 6.5 in place of 6.8.

59). B) The series is 5 x 8 – 7 = 33, 33 x 7 – 6 = 225, 225 x 6 – 5 = 1345, 1345 x 5 – 4 = 6721, 6721 x 4 – 3 = 26881,

Therefore, there should be 6721 in place of 6724.

60). C) The series is (15)² = 225, (16)2 =256, (17)² = 289, (18)² = 324, (19)² = 361, (20)²  = 400,

Therefore there should be 324 in place of 344.

96). The series is 9³, 11³, 13³, 15³, 17³, …

Hence, there should be 2197 in place of 2497.

Answer: d)

97). The series is 8 + 1.5 = 9.5, 9.5 + 2

= 11.5, 11.5 + 2.5 = 14, 14 + 3 = 17

Hence, there should be 9.5 in place of 8.5.

Answer: b)

98). The series is 5 × 1 + 2 = 7, 6 × 2 + 4 =

16, 7 × 3 + 6 = 27, 8 × 4 + 8 = 40, 9 × 5 + 10

= 55. Hence, there should be 55 in place of 46.

Alternate Method: +9, +11, +13, +15 …

Answer: e)

99). The series is +339, +678, +1356, +2712, …

Hence, there should be 5524 in place of 5624.

Answer: e)

100). The series is 9² – 1, 11² – 2, 13² – 3, 15² – 4, 17² – 5, …

Hence, there should be 284 in place of 223.

Answer: e)
